Graphs-at-a-time: Query Language and Access Methods for Graph Databases

Summary: Graphs-at-a-time: graph query language with graphs as first-class units and arbitrary attributes on nodes, edges, and graphs. Extends relational algebra with graph pattern matching and a rewrite operator; uses subgraphs and optimized search to cope with NP-complete subgraph isomorphism, graph methods beat SQL.
